School Visits and Festivals

As part of Northern squash club's community outreach programme, our coaching staff visit nine local schools in the Gosforth state school pyramid every Autumn, to introduce squash and develop the racket skills of the year three children (7/8 year olds). The schools that participate are:

Archibald first school

Archbishop Runcie first school

Broadway East first school

Brunton Park first school

Dinnington first school

Grange first school

Gosforth Park first school

Regent Farm first school

South Gosforth first school

Sixty children are invited back to the club for a mini squash festival and then they can join the Year 3 after school squash club on a Thursday until the end of the season.

Since its introduction in 2008 this scheme has resulted in some major achievements:

Josie Barker, Michael Mattimore and Erin Vitty have gone on to become county champions.
